Nice page and beautiful photographs! I never made it to Lapland, but I was at midsummer festival on island Skansen, Stockholm one summer. I was introduced to a wonderful lady from Lapland, who gave me some of her berry wine that she had made by burying it in the ground. I recall it was pretty good!

The berry wine was red. I did feel honored as it was her "private stuff" I was introduced to her by the host for the whole festival so I was fortunate to have the right connection to be offered this wine. I do recall that it was rare- a very special treat!

By the way, my background is Swedish and Danish... I am off to the store to buy a pork roast for a traditional Danish Christmas this year... Roast pork, red cabbage, carmelized new potoatoes and rice pudding with a hidden almond. What is the traditional Christmas dinner in Sweden?

The rice pudding turned out great! I topped it with warm cherry preserves and whipped cream. My wife got the almond--- and graciously shared her candy bar winnings with the rest of less fortunate souls.

Yes, the picture you refer to is indeed in Montana, in the northern part of the U.S. (what we call the "Lower 48," or "Continental" USA, because it excludes Alaska and Hawaii), is in Glacier National Park--one of the most spectacular mountain areas in the country--often referred to as Glacier/Waterton (or Waterton/Glacier) International Peace Park, because Waterton Lakes National Park adjoins Glacier, but is in Canada, and managed by the Canadian Government (Glacier is quite a bit larger than Waterton, although there is a serious effort underway by the Canadian Government to almost double the size of Waterton). The Waterton/Glacier International Peace Park is a symbol of the friendship and close relationship between the U.S. and Canada.

Top quality page. I agree and like the right of Common Access concept, especially in the western U.S. where pockets of unmaintained, undeveloped, and beautifiul private property exists. Thanks for your excellent page.
